§ 5 Responses to In Which Daniel Craig and Judi Dench are Awesome

Since Daniel Craig’s appearance in a dress elicited much inevitable transphobia (from chauvinists over the internet forums), it’s a pity that the vid – amongst it’s long list of shocking statistics about the damage caused by gender oppression – didn’t *dare* to mention the fact that statisically the group of women most likely to be assaulted and murdered are transwomen. Guess that wouldn’t have gone down to well with the self-style ‘mainstream’/respectable people though. As the video says: “we’ve” got a long way to go as far as equality goes yet.

I saw this on another community I watch and I got chills. Not from Craig, but the pure horrifying numbers and composed grace of Dench’s voice. There was no cutesy woobie voice delivering it, to dumb it down and make it a little less significant. No. It was a strong woman’s voice proclaiming the injustices aren’t right and we can’t forget in the act of complacency. It was a reminder that equality isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about remembering the humanity in giving women the same courtesy as men. That one isn’t better than the other and that people should be equal, no matter the gender, because ultimately it’s about the actions, not how one cops a squat.
